A man pulls a sled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. if a force of 80 n is being applied to the sled rope

at an angle of 53° to the ground, what is the force of friction between sled and snow?

Answer:

The force of friction between sled and snow is 48.14 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force applied on the sled, F = 80 N

The angle with the sled and the ground is 53 degrees. We need to find the force of friction between sled and snow.

The horizontal force acting in the horizontal direction is given by :

F_x=F\ cos\theta

F_x=80\times cos(53)

F_x=48.14\ N

So, the force of friction between sled and snow is 48.14 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A constant velocity implies the two forces must be equal and opposite.
Friction acts horizontal to the ground, therefore we must find the force applied to the sled rope that acts horizontal to the ground.
Do this by resolving:
Force = 80cos53
The force opposing this is equal, and so also = 80cos53 = 48 N (2 sig. fig.)

A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 3.25 107 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the
Korolek [52]

Answer:Orbital period =21.22hrs

Explanation:

given that

mass of earth M = 5.97 x 10^24 kg

radius of a satellite's orbit, R=  earth's radius + height of the satellite

6.38X 10^6 +  3.25 X10^7 m =3.89 X 10^7m

Speed of satellite, v= \sqrt GM/R

where G = 6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2

V= \sqrt (6.673x10^-11 x 5.97x10^ 24)/(3.89 X 10^ 7m)

V =10,241082.2

v= 3,200.2m/s

a) Orbital period

\sqrt GM/R = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

V= \frac{2\pi r}{T}

T= 2 \pi r/ V

= 2 X 3.142 X 3.89 X 10^7m/ 3,200.2m/s

=76,385.1 s

60 sec= 1min

60mins = 1hr

76,385.1s =hr

76,385.1/3600=21.22hrs

ate around its central axis. A rope wrapped around the drum of radius 1.24 m exerts a force of 4.56 N to the right on the cylind
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Magnitude the net torque about its axis of rotation is 1.3338 Nm

Explanation:

The radius of the wrapped rope around the drum, r = 1.24 m

Force applied to the right side of the drum, F = 4.56 N

The radius of the rope wrapped around the core, r' = 0.57 m

Force on the cylinder in the downward direction, F' = 7.58 N

Now, the magnitude of the net torque is given by:

\tau_{net} = \tau + \tau'

where

\tau = Torque due to Force, F

\tau' = Torque due to Force, F'

\tau = F\times r\tau' = F'\times r'

Now,

\tau_{net} = - F\times r + F'\times r'\tau_{net} = - 4.56\times 1.24 + 7.58\times 0.57 \\\\= - 1.3338\ Nm

The net torque comes out to be negative, this shows that rotation of cylinder is in the clockwise direction from its stationary position.

Now, the magnitude of the net torque:

|\tau_{net}| = 1.3338\ Nm

a rock with a mass of 10.0 kg is balanced on top of a large boulder. describe the forces acting on the rock, and use the concept
denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

The forces acting on the rock include Normal Force, Gravitational force & Friction force

It's possible for it to stay on the boulder because the normal force balances it's weight. also because static friction acts on the boulder up to it's limiting friction even if it were on an attempt to move as a result of air resistance. gravitational forces act upon it by mainly affecting it it's weight. as altitude increases, it's weight decreases since gravity varies from a height to another.
